It even has an Enhancement that lets you grant a unit you are leading with Scout 6” and Infiltrate, which is always a good set of bonuses. They always feel like a weird unit where they could be paying for the nonsense they did a few editions ago.

Datasheets for all 30 Adeptus Mechanicus units, outlining their abilities, equipment, and the distinct profiles of entities from Sydonian Skatros to Belisarius Cawl. At the start of the first Battle Round, this Detachment gets to pick one of two game-long buffs for Cult Mechanicus stuff to benefit from. Outside of Data-Blessed Autosermon the standout option here is the Temporcopia , providing Fights First. You always have a chance at mortal wounds, and the fallout causes Battle Shock tests from that point on. Delve into the enigmatic world of the Adeptus Mechanicus, devout worshippers of the Machine God of Mars.This book also contains a one-use code to unlock Codex: Adeptus Mechanicus content in Warhammer 40,000: The App. Whichever weapon he picks he gets to reroll wounds against the keyword his weapon is effective against, and any unit hit by him has to take a battleshock test. If you’re wondering about the strongest melee Skitarii threat, the Sydonian Dragoon with Taser Lance, they don’t even need this stratagem. Essentially you roll a dice at the end of the game and on a 5+ you have found a part – this can be one of 4 different things, a Power source, a weapon part, a force field part or a techno-arcana part.

The one exception to this is that taking a single Stratoraptor looks reasonably plausible in this detachment, and since they have no native Invulnerable save you might blow this in a pinch. The Adeptus Mechanicus see a large number of changes from their Index incarnation – in total, more than we saw for Codex: Space Marines and Codex: Tyranids. Mighty armies of robots, Omnisirah cults and deadly warmachines march against the enemies of the Imperium, bringing their high tech weaponry to bare. That is a fairly specific set of hoops to jump through, but the fact that this is just baseline good before you start getting clever with it means that the optional upside feels like a true reward, rather than something you have to do for it to be worth it at all. Bionic Endurance grants a Sicarian, Pteraxii, or Sydonian unit the Feel No Pain 5+ ability in either the shooting or fighting phase for 1CP.In a lovely turn of pace, all six stratagems for this detachment are 1CP – and all of them apply equally to Legio Cybernetica or Adeptus Mechanicus Vehicle units. I’m already planning on adding to my fledgling Mechanicus army, and I’ll be picking up a few different bits so I can put together a number of different flavour armies. With the volume of changes present in this codex to their datasheets, we fully expect that there will be an update to the points in the MFM and the Codex similar to the one released for Codex: Space Marines. It’s every Tech-Priest’s dream to recover samples of lost archeotech – advanced machine-relics from a more enlightened age. Defensive abilities, unit redeployment, defensive abilities, movement tricks, and defensive abilities.
